Pain under my eyelid... can't resolve it!
(I am in California with Medicare instead of N.H.S.) I have been getting Avastin injections in my right eye for about 18 months. There has been no progression, so now the shots are 16 weeks apart. I live about 60 miles from my opthalmologist, so I haven't asked her this question. My next regular

Living with CSR
Hi I’ve now had this condition for about 16 years. I’m now 64. First noted sight problem when night driving. Left eye normal but right eye not as sharp. After diagnosis I soon lost central vision in right eye and then had symptoms in left eye. Had regular checks at QMC Nottingham. Got funding for PDT

Receiving monthly Avastin injections now 5 days past due and I notice a decrease in vision
Being treated for CNV. Somehow, I was given a 5 week follow up form my next injection so instead of receiving my scheduled 4 week injection last week, I will get it this week. My vision was getting better and I was able to read things I couldn't read before. Yesterday my vision wasn't nearly as good

Two very frustrating experiences. Cancer is not always the problem.
Since I have stopped my chemotherapy treatment, I have been looking into other options. It's interesting . I did not know this until I did some research recently but in the us, oncologists are the only group of doctors out of the medical practice that are allowed to make a profit from writing prescriptions

In focus: targeted therapies - immunotherapy
This month in our Health in Focus series, we’re looking at targeted therapies. Cancer cells behave differently from healthy cells in a number of ways. These behaviours can make them more vulnerable to damage. Targeted therapies are drugs that disrupt this abnormal behaviour, causing the cells to die.

Lynparza and Avastin
Hi, everyone, I was just informed my tumor tested positive for a mutation ( good news). I will be on Lynparza and Avastin after 2 more chemotherapy infusions. What have your experiences been on either or both of these medications? Thanks 😊

Back Ache?
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! I was diagnosed a year ago June with OC, stage 4 that spread to a few lymph nodes, stomach lining, liver and colon. Surgery and chemo has definitely helped but I am platinum resistant (which is disappointing). In any event, over the past several weeks, when
